Systems and methods for pattern recognition in diabetes management |
(57) A diabetes management system or process is provided herein that may be used to analyze
and recognize patterns for a large number of blood glucose concentration measurements
and other physiological parameters related to the glycemia of a patient. In particular,
a method of monitoring glycemia in a patient may include storing a patient's data
on a suitable device, such as, for example, a blood glucose meter. The patient's data
may include blood glucose concentration measurements. The diabetes management system
or process may be installed on, but is not limited to, a personal computer, an insulin
pen, an insulin pump, or a glucose meter. The diabetes management system or process
may identify a plurality of pattern types from the data including a testing/dosing
pattern, a hypoglycemic pattern, a hyperglycemic pattern, a blood glucose variability
pattern, and a comparative pattern. After identifying a particular pattern with the
data management system or process, a warning message may be displayed on a screen
of a personal computer or a glucose meter. Other messages can also be provided to
ensure compliance of any prescribed diabetes regiments or to guide the patient in
managing the patient's diabetes.
